Trump struggling to hear people over his helicopter is the funniest thing you'll see today

Trump struggling to hear people over his helicopter is the funniest thing you'll see today

Since becoming president in 2017, Donald Trump has developed an odd habit of talking to the press outside of the White House while his helicopter is waiting to take off.

It's something that has been given the term 'chopper talk' a definition so legitimate, that it is now on Urban Dictionary.

The problem with 'chopper talk' is that it can be quite hard to hear what anyone else is saying, because, well there is a massive machine behind him making lots of noise.

In turn, Trump can't always hear what people are asking him, resulting in many moments of him asking others to speak up.

In fact, there are so many of these moments that The Daily Show was able to put together a 30-second montage of him doing just that.

Needless to say, it's oddly entertaining and very funny.

Our favourite bit is probably when Trump says:

You'll have to talk up, we have a helicopter.

Cheers, Donald. As if we didn't notice that already.

Predictably the video has become a viral hit and in some ways, it's own meme.

If only Trump would use the room specially dedicated to press briefings as a normal president would...

It's almost as enjoyable as this classic:
